Unified Communications (UC) is a direct result of the convergence of communications and applications. Differing forms of communication have been developed, marketed and sold as separate individual applications. In some cases, they even had separate networks and devices. The convergence of all communications on IP networks and open-software platforms is enabling a new paradigm for UC, and is changing how individuals, groups and organizations communicate. Gartner defines UC products (equipment, software and services) as those that facilitate the use of multiple enterprise communication methods. This can include the control, management and integration of these methods. UC products integrate communication channels (media), networks and systems, as well as IT business applications and, in some cases, consumer applications and devices. SMB buyers require simplicity and intuitive use in their UC solutions. Simplicity requirements extend through multiple stages (or touchpoints) of the UC acquisition from initial consideration through ongoing maintenance and management of the UC environment. SMBs will favor working with providers (typically via their channel partners) that can demonstrate the solutions ease of use early on in the sales cycle. Full-featured UC functionality can be positioned, but solutions that require complex integrations will be less favored than solutions that can easily be deployed with a minimal cutover time.

What The Experts are Saying SMBs are expected to continue to retain a cautious approach to spending, and their UC decisions will be shaped not only by business process and communications improvements, but also by hard cost factors (like cost savings). This means some SMBs will take a more evolutionary approach to UC as they leverage existing investments in phones or communications infrastructure instead of migrating to UC suites in a single leap.
